These flowers are made from some hexagons I found in my closet. I made them on holiday some time ago. I wasn't planning to make a whole quilt out of it so I'm happy I could use them in this applique quilt, although the colours are a bit different from the rest. Well I don't mind I think. It is also a block with a coloured background.

My daughter made me this matryoshka out of paper! It is the first one out of 5. It will probably take a whileto finish them all, because it is a lot of work. She found them on this website from Canon .There are a lot of beautifull things to make on this site. The finished figures are very firm ( best to use thick or photo paper). Some of the things you can make need a lot of printed pages so it will be wise to check before you start printing!

My son (23) and daughter (20) bought me these happy and colourfull fabrics for my birthday. My son bought them ( never did this before) and was wondering why they sold so little pieces (fat quaters). He didn't want those little ones for me so he asked for bigger ones( 0.25m x1.5m and the checkers 0.5 x 1.50). He said now you can at least make something usefull out of it. He reminded me at the fact that buying small pieces of fabric is not the wisest decision I could make...Well never too old to learn I must say and I am very happy with these fabrics.

Last week I put together my appliquequilt. When I looked at it I thought it would be much nicer to make 9 blocks...So I started to make new plans for the last three. I will have to make complete new ones because I don't have any blocks left for this. It is allright with me if this takes a little longer but I did do something silly: I already put '2010' in the middle...

Further more I practiced this week in free motion quilting on the machine after I watched video's from Patsy Thompson . The video's are very clear and fun to watch.I will take a peek at other weblogs now,

Tommorrow A lot of Dutch people celebrate 'Sinterklaasfeest' ( Sinterklaas also brings presents like Santa Claus does). He arrives by boat from Spain as you can see on this picture...., this was taken just in front of my house!
